Alright, for my U.S History class I need to write a paper on someone in American History who influenced American History or whatever. And I also have to "spend some time" with this person, like at dinner. I have to come up with questions I'd ask him/her.
So yeah who should I write about?

The whole class will pick the obvious people. The teacher is most likely looking for creativity from his or her students.

Like IRL?
Good luck finding a famous person and spend time with him/her unless s/he's just a little famous.

spend fictional time with him/her of course.
It's going to be hard to dine with someone who changed american history, alive or dead, if you're just a regular student.

^ This. Seeing as how we have to do the paper on someone who's already dead.

Exactly which is why I'm not going to pick someone like George Washington. CP's pick of Joshua Chamberlain seems like my best option so far.
